Country singer Darius Rucker took a stand against racism after a Twitter user sent him a racist tweet. The tweet was sent after Rucker covered Bob Dylan's "Wagon Wheel" at the Grand Ole Opry on Sunday, May 19.
A tweet was sent from the user @pqkullman: "Leave country to the white folk."
The former Hootie and the Blowfish lead man responded back in a tweet saying, "Is this 2013 or 1913? I'll take my grand ole Opry membership and leave your racism. Wow."
Many fans were angered by the tweet and automatically showed Rucker, 47, some support. He sent a final tweet to his haters letting them know that he doesn't make music for them.
"Gotta go to bed this has been hilarious tonight. If any hater thinks I care what u think. I don't make music for u. So don't listen."
The Twitter account @pqkullman has been deactivated and restarted by another user since the incident happened.
Rucker will be performing at the CMT Music Awards on June 5.
